ROD Stewart has exclusively confirmed he’s set to return to the stage for a tour of the UK.

Legendary singer Rod Stewart, 73, has confirmed the incredible news that he won’t be retiring anytime soon – and will be back on the road touring Britain next year.

Speaking exclusively to OK! Online and others at the Missing Believed Wiped: Rod the Mod British Film Institute screening, Rod confirmed he’ll be back to tour the UK in 2019 – much to the delight of his devoted fans.

"Tickets will go on sale in September, and you can buy a ticket and a new album all together very cheap. Seriously, you can,” he laughed.

“Retirement is far away right now – obviously it’s got to end one day, but right now, no,” he confirmed.

“There will be a British tour next year, there’s a new album coming out in September called Blood Red Roses, all new songs by Rod – and life is good!”

When an audience member asked what it was like to be him, he laughed: “F**king great! I have the best job in the world, better than Trump.

“I go out every night and send an audience home happy and laughing – it’s not like a game of football, because if you lose it's a different story. But I get to send people home happy, and it’s great. I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

Rod has had an incredible career throughout his life, with the Rod the Mod documentary celebrating his musical journey from when he was just a teenager – saying he only thought the fame would last around "18 months".
